cola Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 December 5, 2007 -- ENDURANCE artist David Blaine is cranking up again. You know David, right? Did 44 days inside Plexiglas suspended over the Thames? Frozen in a case of ice in Times Square and not defrosted for nearly three days? Teetered atop a high pillar 35 hours in Bryant Park? In '99, buried alive for some reason for seven days? That David Blaine.Pay attention. I now bring exclusive news. David, apparently uninterested in spending his life doing sane things like driving a bus or delivering Snapple, is onto his next shtick. He'll break the world record for staying awake. And, kiddies, mother will be severely displeased if you didn't even know there was such a record.Understand, David neither confirmed nor denied his coming feat. But, trust me. I mean, trust me. I mean, who do you believe? David Blaine Himself - or me!OK, so this thing he's not saying will happen but which I even know when is happening - in May - how's he train for it?"I'm dropping 30 pounds," he told me. "I do two hours every day on the treadmill. I'm on a raw diet that includes brown rice. No red meat. No animal products besides cooked fish."It's been tried before. In 1959, Peter Tripp stayed awake eight days, but it resulted in permanent brain damage. In 1964, 17-year-old Randy Gardner did it for a high school science project. He lasted 11½ days but recovered fully. No damage. A guy in London tried but fell short. Another did 19 hours but slept two hours each night, so that doesn't count. Also he was seated in a rocking chair. If I do this thing, which you claim I'm doing, I'll do it on my feet. Standing up."After 36 hours of sleep deprivation it's like being drunk, 72 hours and paranoia sets in, Day Four the mind goes into hallucinations and you're dreaming while awake. The problem is there's no way to know how to offset brain damage or to train for this because there isn't sufficient research. I believe the first guy's mistake was not being in great physical condition. Also he used stimulants to keep awake, which I assume did him in.http://www.nypost.com/seven/12052007/gossi..._ever_14086.htm-------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
